Thank you. A great interview. I have been in contact with Dale and we have been following a very similar pathway. I have high grade serous ovarian cancer 3c/4 BRACA2 HRD+, diagnosed in March this year. I am also seeing a significant improvement in my situation. I have had 6 chemos (no side effects due to fasting, hyperbaric oxygen, taking certain supplements and off-label drugs and freezing head, hands and feet). I have not been able to have debulking surgery and am now on maintenance (Olaparib and Avastin as per SOLO1 & PAOLA3).

My PA125 has gone from 5000 to currently 66 and is still dropping.

I changed my diet to a largely Mediterranean diet/ rainbow diet, undertaken a parasite cleanse, rebuilt my gut and gut wall, cut out a lot of sugar, gluten, carbohydrates, dairy, red meat, processed foods. My last glucose was 3.8. My vit D is 120, my cholesterol is 2.5 (my triglycerides 0.6). I have removed a number of chemicals in the house, improved my sleep, have a grounding sheet on my bed, go out in the sun, have very little stress (I have a naturally independent, positive personality), have saunas and ice-baths, walk regularly, laugh a lot, go to sound gongs, reiki, reflexology, yoga. I stopped work (I am 60) and now have time; the first time since I was a teenager. This last change has been hugely significant; I now know what the weather is each day. For years I hardly knew!! I have a tight-knit family and group of friends and have been given unending support and love.

Dr Marik, I have bought your 2nd edition book which is brilliant.

I have read Jane McLelland’s fantastic book & am doing her online course (and many other very useful books but Jane’s stands out for me); spoken to the brilliant Chris Woollams and spent hours on his charity website CANCERactive; I listen to the wonderful Robin Daly’s ‘Say Yes to Life’; I am linked in to Clinic 158 in Glasgow; listened to many discussions with Patricia Peat, Dr Siegfried, Dr King, Dr Maki’s, Dr John Campbell, Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong, Dr Neil McKnney, Dr Lodi and numerous others.

I don’t know where all this is going to take me in the longer term but currently I feel good and am leading a better than normal life (but cancer research and interventions take up a lot of time and money).

The response I have had from the medical staff (and nurses) at the hospital is almost the same as Dale’s and therefore I am undertaking my holistic approach without their support or knowledge. It is not what I want; I want to work with them. I do know I have exceeded the 3 months they gave me at the beginning of the year……

There is ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND that this synergistic approach between hospital intervention and the significantly broader holistic approach is saving my life. As Patricia Peat said in a recent interview ‘what would a patient’s life look like without the holistic intervention and the clear benefits it brings’. This combined approach gives me hope. The NHS approach gives me no hope, limited time and horrendous side effects.

Thank you Melanie, we are wishing you well. It’s inspirational as well to see your approach laid out here; an understanding of the path and what you are up against will no doubt reach others just as Dale’s story has.

Nancy plummer's avatar

Would love to know what you discarded? Working with a froend with St4 colon ca.

MelanieS's avatar

Red meat, processed food, gluten, dairy, sugar (inc fructose in sweet fruits), alcohol, changed a number of household and body products to reduce chemicals etc etc.

It’s not just about what you stop doing, it a 360 degree approach to lots of aspects of your life.

Excellent interview and amazing information. I now also follow Amanda King and bought Dr Marik's book years ago...so good.

It wasn't mentioned but it would be interesting to know if Dale and his wife were forced to take the jab. So many people with previous cancers, either in remission or slowly growing, had them turbo charged by the shots. If Dale did have them was there focus on detoxing the spike? Many of the supplements and drugs he took have been promoted by many to help. Did he have a spike protein antibodies test given.

Amanda King ND's avatar

I look for other markers for Covid job issues like fibrinogen for example.

It would be interesting indeed to poll the cancer population to see this.

I am seeing lots of young people with cancer. I hear rates have increase by a lot in the last couple of years in my networks.

This just was released. Scary.

As a lay person I have not heard of checking for fibrinogen, but D-dimer, troponin and ferritin were checked on my husband after Mar 2021 case of covid. His ferritin was sky high and they pulled blood immediately...numerous others in the office had the same thing happen. My husband did not get vaxxed. As you stated, everyone is so different. Thank you for your work.

Thank you so much for sharing this.

Do you also think the carnivore diet is good as many people have been cured of disease and lost weight as a bonus. Some hav3 lost a lot of weight healthily and look and feel great!

Amanda King ND's avatar

It's clear that the carnivore diet works for certain people but when we think about protein metabolism in a cancer setting, we can see that the carnivore diet relies far too heavily on animal protein. (Unless you plan to sit around eating sticks of butter and lard all day for dietary fuel to be in ketosis, which might become a drag after day one). Excess protein converts to glucose in the body, driving mTOR and growth and creating the very conditions that people want to eradicate when they change their diet to starve cancer.

I don't recommend carnivore diets for cancer. Protein needs to be limited to physiological need only as excess amino acids drive mTOR which is anabolic and drives the cancering process.

This is an amazing story. I was personally diagnosed with Barrett Esophagus ten yrs ago. I have taken myself off Tecta and live a very healthy active lifestyle. My most recent scope shows cells returning closer to normal. My doctor explained earlier in this process that the cells would begin to mirror the cells of my intestines.

Amanda King ND's avatar

Well done on your recovery.

mwkoehler's avatar

Melanie, thank you for sharing your story. I too feel that my life has been saved by following these steps.

I was diagnosed two years ago with stage 4 intestinal cancer that had spread to my peritoneum, lungs, several lymph nodes and all over my liver (when pushed they told me over 25 mets)

In January 2025 I went on watch and wait and have remained no sign of cancer for 8 months now.

I’m continuing treating myself with most of my metabolic treatments, only reducing or eliminating as part of my focus on repairing the damage done to my body by chemotherapy.

Surak's avatar

A "vegetarian ketogenic diet"? Intriguing. I would have guessed that ketogenic diets would be heavy on animal-sourced food. Curious to hear more.

Amanda King ND's avatar

Ideally they would have 'some' animal protein yes, but not heavy. Ketogenic diets are 'heavy' on the fat... clean healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil, butter, ghee and of course the fats from egg yolks and animals too like belly pork and chicken skin! Everyone is unique with different choices, preferences and needs but the ideal situation for proper, optimal health is that we eat some clean, high quality animal protein every day, eat an egg a day, have low carb veggies, some berries and lots of high quality, clean fats. It's the fats you need to focus on to produce the ketones for the ketogenic diet. Excess protein will convert into glucose potentially or drive the cancer process directly.

Surak's avatar

Thank you for that clear explanation.

Amanda King ND's avatar

You are most welcome.

Chaim Lee's avatar

of course the CDC didn't test all those. Did they test any of them?

So Why is Nobody talking about Dr. Otto Warburg’s Nobel Prize Winning discovery of the Oxygen Transferring Enzyme within the Cellular Respiration process..???

Oxygen Kills Cancer Cells, folks.!!! Dr. Merick and Dr. Peter McCollough, Start Sharing THAT with the People and We the People Will Stop Suffering from Cancer.!!!! Warburg won two Nobel Prizes for his work.. AND, his speech in Lindau, Germany called, conspicuously,

“The Prime Cause & Prevention of Cancer”. I’m going to see about posting it on my own thread if Anyone’s Interested..

People need to know that Cancer is NOT A DEATH SENTENCE..!!!

Amanda King ND's avatar

Everyone is talking about the oxygen killing cancer. Read the rest of my posts. That’s also how chemo works and radiation by the way - ROS

What a truly inspiring man Dale is and I wish him and his family continued good Health and happiness. I am lucky enough to be working with Dr Amanda king on a much less serious condition but I would like to say I am finding the experience of working with a person with such stratospheric knowledge yet such a empathetic, patient and kind nature truly reassuring. Sadly it is very rare you get that mix of first class care and humanity.

Thank you Tracy. It’s a pleasure to work with you x

All of you are a blessing! You are using your gifts and talents you have received from God! We need you all! Thank you for sharing your story Dale! Such an inspiration! And thanks to Dr. Marik and Dr. King and other health providers that work so hard to find a way for such successes! God bless you all!

Amanda King ND's avatar

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We know how important it is to get information like this out. Please restack and share in your networks, we truly appreciate your support.

John van der Woude's avatar

In this video dr. Marik mentions that for cancer patients the goal for vitamin D levels in the blood is 90-120. Is that ng/ml or nmol/l? If it is ng/ml than that would be 225 - 300 nmol/l. That's a very high level of vitamin D3 with a risk for kidney stones. How much magnesium and Vitamin K2 do you advice to counteract this risk? Do you advice to reduce calcium, oxalates and vitamin C during this high vitamin D3 regimen?Do you measure calcium in the blood?

Amanda King ND's avatar

I always tell people to take k2 with d3 and magnesium of course. I personally always keep an eye on calcium levels. Oxalates aren’t a risk for everyone.

John van der Woude's avatar

Thank you Amanda.

You discovered the root cause as mycotoxin toxicity and methylation deficiency. How was this treated?

Amanda King ND's avatar

Mycotoxins can be treated with anti fungals, depending on the mould and toxins like Itroconazole for example. Under methylation requires methylation factors which generally means B9, B12, chloline, TMG etc.. it depends on the individual. Dale needed a lot of methyl factors as he was churning through them at a rate of knots.

Deborah Moyer's avatar

My gut tells me to give my cancer patients methylated B vitamins.

But they were not listed on Cancer Care Protocol. Are you checking for MTHFR gene or rather measuring vitamin B levels?

Amanda King ND's avatar

I measure these and other nutrients and if I have data on not only MTHFR, but also MTRR, MTR, MAT1A, PEMT, etc then I make decisions about how to supplement based on that too, yes. You need to appraise each case individually, there are no standardised protocols or one size fits all. All guidelines need personalising according to the cancer and individual differences.

Deborah Moyer's avatar

Which urine mycotoxin test are you using?

Have you seen nebulized anti fungal being used?

Doc's avatar

How about walnuts with fruit doesn’t that slow down the insulin rises

Amanda King ND's avatar

Walnuts are great for your health but there is no need to be eating fruit beyond a small amount of berries. Too much risk, not enough benefit!

Dan Star's avatar

I guess this alternative approach didn’t work for Scott Adams of Dilbert Fame. Maybe too late to help him.

Independent Medical Alliance's avatar

I hope that Scott will take note of Dale's story and be inspired. This wasn't a quick fix but rather a highly dedicated and researched approach executed by a willing doctor-patient team.

Surak's avatar

Scott is still with us. His greatest strength is his open mind and willingness to acknowledge when something isn't working. I pray for his complete recovery.

Trying hard's avatar

Scott never bought into it and only took it 4 weeks. Very sad that he did so much damage to this approach by not doing it the way it was prescribed. No one expects the chemo to work in 4 weeks. The commitment to repurpose drugs and supplements is slower moving but not nearly as destructive. I suspect he realized his mistake at the end but it was very sad watching him make poor decisions and not do the research necessary

Amanda King ND's avatar

So sorry to hear this. There are no guarantees with any process or protocol and it's always best to gather your team as early as you can. So sorry for your loss.

Dan Star's avatar

He only did the IVM based treatment 4 weeks with Stage 4 cancer?

Trying hard's avatar

Yes only 4 weeks last spring.sadly he let his mainstream docs talk him out of it.

Kathryn's avatar

My husband was on PPIs for over a decade before his esophageal cancer diagnosis. I consider them seminal to developing cancer. His doctor knew, but never warned him.

Kathryn's avatar

My husband had this same diagnosis in 2017. The evil Staff at Mayo convened what was essentially a disciplinary meeting for me when I inquired about natural approaches. I still feel flummoxed about the “intervention,” and consider the radiologist something like a ghoul.💀
